Today's weather: Beautiful weekend

We sail into the weekend with beautiful weather. A strong area of high pressure dominates our weather today. This will keep the skies sunny and the winds light. Highs climb to near 80, and we’ll keep the humidity low all weekend. Not a bad day for the Pocono 400! Tonight, we’ll have clear skies, so the low dips a few degrees below average to 52.

On Sunday, we’ll start out with lots of sun. Then, this weekend’s area of high pressure loses its grip on our weather. In fact, it will sail off the Atlantic coast. As it does so, clouds will start increasing Sunday afternoon as a cold front approaches. We’ll get pretty warm ahead of the cold front. Enjoy 84 degrees Sunday. Sunday night, we’ll have showers and a few thunderstorms. They’ll continue Monday, which keeps the high at 78. Thunderstorms continue for the rest of the week.
